09.07.2024 13:30 Date: July 9, 2024 Today’s Doodle celebrates Argentina’s Independence Day, also called Día de la Independencia. On this day in 1816, delegates gathered in Tucumán and declared independence from Spain. The house they met in is now a museum, the Casa Histórica de la Independencia, which many visit to learn more about the history of Argentina and its journey to freedom. On this festive occasion, families gather to watch concerts or military parades complete with flyovers. It’s popular to attend cultural events that celebrate the country’s customs and music — like dancing the tango with friends! If you’re chilly from outdoor activities, there’s no better way to warm up than with a steaming bowl of locro , asado , or toasty empanadas. For dessert, many reach for a churro and hot chocolate for a delicious end to the day. Happy Independence Day, Argentina! Location: Tags:

05.07.2024 02:32 Date: July 5, 2024 Today’s Doodle celebrates Algerian Independence Day. On this day in 1962, the largest country in Africa became a sovereign nation, ending over a hundred years of French rule. This national holiday honors the hardships the country’s people faced on the path to independence which included an eight-year long war. On the eve of Independence Day, the capital city of Algiers is flooded with citizens from around the country. Patriotic songs thump beneath the celebratory feet of folk group ensembles and military members as they parade through the heart of the city. National flags decorate homes and buildings — just like the one in today’s Doodle. The day is filled with speeches and military demonstrations with fighter planes flying overhead. Algerians celebrate by wearing white and green to parades, parties and concerts alongside spending time with their loved ones. Happy Independence Day, Algeria! Location: Tags:

01.07.2024 10:30 Date: July 1, 2024 Today’s Doodle celebrates Canada Day, a day to celebrate all things Canada, including our breathtaking landscapes, our diversity, our culture, and of course our Canadian wildlife! Did you know that the polar bear, the Canada goose and the moose all hold a place in the history of Canadian currency, appearing on our $2 coin, on the $5 bill and on commemorative coins over the years? Canada Day festivities are happening across the country - from vibrant parades and community barbecues to dazzling fireworks displays and live music performances. Cities and towns come alive with red and white decorations as many Canadians proudly display our national colours, sing O Canada and celebrate the place we call home. Today is a day for Canadians to celebrate, but also to reflect on our country’s past, present and future. This includes reflecting on the work that needs to be done to move reconciliation forward with the Inuit, First Nations and Métis peoples who have inhabited this land for generations past and present. These rich histories, traditions, and contributions are woven into the core fabric of our communities. By celebrating the achievements and resilience of Indigenous Peoples, we can help foster a more inclusive future for everyone. Happy Canada Day 2024! Location: Tags:
